Hey everyone, it's Lin again and I am here to finally admit that I have a problem and that is my phone.

My screen time on my phone is way more than I'd ever want it to be.

It might not sound that startling if you look at the daily average,

but then one day I calculated how much of my life I would spend on my phone if I kept at it.

So we are going to calculate how many hours I would spend on my phone for my adult life.

So this is not even including adolescents, okay?

So we're being really generous here.

I'm gonna assume that I live until 80.

Maybe it'll be more, maybe it'll be less.

But if we do 80 minus 18, that's 62.

And I spend approximately six hours a day on my phone.

So we're gonna do times seven,

and times four the month,

and times 12 for the year.

This number is already outrageous.

But now we can do times 62.

And then we're gonna divide by 8760.

So for my adult life,

I will spend 14 years.

14.25 years.

So if you divide that by 62,

that is nearly a quarter of my adult life.

Let's think about that.

Let's think of...

What?

While we're at it.

Why don't we just look at my screen time breakdown?

Okay, like what apps am I using the most?

12 hours and 22 minutes on a webtoon.

Okay, so I just started a new webtoon.

It's called After School Lessons for Unwrite Apples and it's really good, y'all.

9 hours and 22 minutes on Instagram last week.

Okay, so I was working a lot last week, so maybe that's fine.

I don't even create a lot of content for TikTok,

so I feel like this is just me endlessly consuming.

Evidence that I have a social life, I guess.

What that?

I overthink text messages I send to people.

I think it's easy to say like,

Lynn, you just gotta go touch grass, be one with nature.

I've done that.

immediately after, my screen time, still bad.

I mean, it's hard not to be on your phone

when every tool that we need to navigate the modern world is on this brick.

Your calendar, your camera, music,

communication, news, memories, games, movies.

Even when I've tried to disaggregate all my tools,

like I listen to music with my pretentious little headphones or I try bringing around a digital film camera to capture memories.

I was never even an e-reader person in the first place,

so I still like carrying around physical books.

I feel like I'm not getting to the root of the issue.

What excites me to create and go out and experience things?

Navigating life as a 20-something right now,

all my Gen Z people,

you understand this timeline is so crazy.

As everything on this channel is,

it's a work in progress.

But there are seven things I'd like to discuss that have helped me find excitement and experiencing life again.

The possibility of being bad or failing is exciting.

But it's also scary.

I've tried out a lot of new things in the past year.

One of them being rock climbing,

which I'm not gonna lie.

I'm still scared of doing that.

I'm not scared of heights.

I'm just scared of falling.

But another new thing that I learned was an offshoot of skills I already had,

and that's making 3D art.

Specifically on my iPad with Feather 3D.

Other programs like Blender still really intimidate me,

but the learning curve for Feather 3D as someone who enjoys digital illustration has been drawing my entire life.

It's steep enough to keep my interest

but once you do learn all the tools I feel like the world is literally your canvas.

You can do so many cool sick things in feather 3d.

This is my first illustration I made and this is my most recent one.

So while it can be fun and exhilarating to dip your toes into completely uncharted waters,

sometimes learning something that is tangential to something you're familiar with can help ease you in without scaring you off.

Or perhaps you don't want to invest into a new hobby quite yet,

so my suggestion is to return to something old,

revitalize an old hobby, and for me this time around it's learning my heritage language, Vietnamese.

There are so many meaningful experiences,

words, moments that cannot translate to any other language,

and it's such a special intimate thing.

You know, you just gotta know the language to understand the feeling and the weight of it,

And with Rosetta Stone, I've seen immense progress with my speaking, writing, reading skills.

In case you don't know,

Rosetta Stone is an immersive language learning app that uses pictures,

audio, and native pronunciation tools to focus on context-based learning rather than memorization.

As a heritage speaker, Rosetta Stone has given me the structure and the coursework,

you know, the guidelines to continue my language learning after college and outside of my family home.

I also want to build out the more technical parts of Vietnamese vocabulary

so I can talk about current events in the media.

Relevant things rather than just like hey what do you want for dinner?

So I've been working on the specialized units that Rosetta Stone has curated.

I'm currently on unit 12, places and events.

They combine multiple different learning styles to create dynamic immersion in their lesson plans

and it's the most intuitive way to learn a lesson.

100

So if you'd like, you can check out the lifetime subscription,

101

which gives you access to all 25 languages for life.

102

And it's currently exclusively 60% off with my link below.

103

Thank you Rosetta Stone for partnering with me for this video and for keeping me on track.

104

I do feel a great sense of responsibility to preserve my language and my culture as I get older.

105

For the future generations, I want to be able to pass that on.

106

And I've also been inspired to do a little bit more archiving,

107

specifically by documenting and preserving family photos and my own knickknacks.

108

If you've been watching my channel for a while,

109

or just honestly if you've watched one of my videos,

110

you would know that I keep everything that I consider sentimental or aesthetic that comes my way.

111

And I don't mean photo strips and postcards and nice things like that.

112

I'll keep things that other people will consider trash.

113

And my organization system for a while was it end up in the bottom of my bag or my purse,

114

and then I clean it out,

115

and I put it into Ziploc bags,

116

Like so many Ziploc bags.

117

And up until a few months ago,

118

it was just sitting around collecting dust until I decided to finally hunker down and organize everything into scrapbooks and books.

119

For instance, this one is a photo booklet I got while I was in Korea.

120

It holds photo strips and four by six shots.

121

And this sketchbook I turned into a junk journal.

122

It's not in chronological order,

123

but it starts from when I was in college,

124

specifically around my gap year time and goes up into my travels now.

125

It has all the things that I couldn't bear to throw away from traveling.

126

And I also printed out photos using instant film printers or a regular printer.

127

And it's very nice and beautiful to see all my mementos have a place to live and be preserved.

128

And now today we are going to build on the same concept of archiving all your memories

129

because I finally bought a scrapbook,

130

a proper D-ring scrapbook that has the plastic seal pages got it on sale at Michael's for $10.

131

Which I think that's a pretty good deal.

132

And I just got back from visiting home and I knew

133

that my parents had tons of photos from when we were kids.

134

So I raided their bedroom drawers and took all of them.

135

This envelope, it's dated January 9th, 2003.

136

So I was two years old.

137

And inside these envelopes are the original film strips from what

138

I'm assuming are the disposable cameras they use to take photos of us.

139

And I couldn't bear to let them sit unseen in these envelopes anymore so we're going to put them away today.

140

Memories nowadays exist in our Instagram archives,

141

virtual photo albums, and the cloud but nothing beats a printed photo especially the ones

142

that predated the digital age something you can hold and cherish.

143

There's this Vietnamese trend right now inspired by Ushun Voong where

144

people explain the significance of a word over a sentimental cut of b-roll footage

145

and even at the risk of being corny there's actually this word I want to talk about.

146

We.

147

It's a term you use when you're talking about a thing that is valuable and precious to you.

148

And I don't mean things of great wealth or status or even people.

149

Most folks, at the end of the day,

150

hold objects close to their hearts because it reminds them of people they love or moments they want to remember forever.

151

But because of displacement and war,

152

it's much more difficult to trace back my family's archives

153

and memories since much of it doesn't exist or it's scattered across random relatives,

154

shoeboxes, and photo albums.

155

Even though the material things we have in our lives are probably the first that we'll sacrifice,

156

it doesn't mean you're exempt from the feeling of loss and grief when you don't have it with you anymore.

157

I was hella nostalgic going through all the photos and seeing young Lin,

158

baby Lin, but what really hit me was reading all the notes,

159

the cards, and letters that were written to me throughout my life.

160

From high school to graduation to college to many birthdays,

161

just seeing my name iterated again and again in the handwriting of so many people that I love.

162

I'm so happy I have evidence of these happy memories because we want to remember everything.

163

But do we?

164

Life would be so overwhelming if we didn't know how to let go and forget.

165

In this plastic bag, I have everything that I don't want to keep,

166

including artwork made by my ex and letters and postcards,

167

photos of people that I had a falling out with and such.

168

I did keep too many receipts and airplane tickets,

169

so those are getting recycled too.

170

And I held onto a ton of things that I would get in the mail or paint strips,

171

paint strips, just random pieces of cardstock.

172

But for every embarrassing, awkward memory that I would love to forget,

173

there is a good one.

174

So I don't mind.

175

Oh, look, it's you.

176

What's the difference?

177

Yeah.

178

I think it's easy to wrongfully pinpoint certain genres of media,

179

such as video games, as meaningless uses of time.

180

But genuinely, a video game that has changed so much of my perspective on life,

181

relationships, the way I approach grief and love and caretaking is this wonderful game called Spiritfarer.

182

Now, if you know me in real life,

183

I've probably talked your ear off about it.

184

Spiritfarer is a game about dying.

185

You play as the main character,

186

Stella, with her cat Daphne,

187

as you help these passengers process their memories and their past lives,

188

and eventually move through the Everdore.

189

As I've gotten older, people in my life that are family that I care about have begun to pass away.

190

In this past spring, I had to mourn a relative that I grew up hearing so many stories about from my mom,

191

but I never got to meet because they lived in Norway.

192

And it was a strange and tough experience for my body and mind and heart to process,

193

performing funeral rites for someone I never got to hug,

194

someone I had never gotten a chance to take a photo with.

195

And playing through Spiritfarer showed me that there is not a one size fits all journey when it comes to processing grief.

196

And part of living life is that you will have regret

197

or shame or guilt over the things you did or could not do.

198

And you might be thinking,

199

Lin, based on the gameplay I'm seeing on your screen right now,

200

it doesn't match up with what you're saying, which is pretty heavy.

201

Spiritfarer does a wonderful job of balancing the character's beautiful emotional dialogue with really fun ways to mine resources,

202

level up your ship, unlock new outfits, and explore the world.

203

And as you progress in the story as Stella,

204

you'll learn that managing a ship for the dead is no easy task.

205

You have passengers literally making you go across the world because they have beef with their lover.

206

But despite it all, you do it because you care and love them.

207

And when it's their time to go,

208

you learn how to say goodbye.

209

Like Spiritfarer, there have been some books that I've read,

210

I've gone back into reading,

211

that have had me in a grip.

212

I mean, I'm glued to the page.

213

I wake up and the first thing I want to do is go.

214

And even after I finished a book,

215

I'm on the Reddit threads.

216

I'm looking up people's dissertations and essays about characters or subplots or the themes of this book.

217

And if you are curious about the books that had me so engrossed that I was doing these deep dives on Reddit,

218

here they are.

219

East of Eden, my opinion,

220

the contender for the great American novel by John Steinbeck is considered his magnum opus.

221

The themes about choice, individualism,

222

choosing between good and evil will forever be something that resonates with readers.

223

But my biggest takeaway from this book were the woman characters.

224

And I actually found a great essay about Kathy.

225

If you'd like to read it,

226

I'll link it in the description.

227

Hijab Butch Blues by Lamia H.

228

The memoir is about the author growing up as an immigrant,

229

as queer and Muslim, and the growing pains of those awkward teenage years when you're figuring out your sexuality.

230

And that doesn't end.

231

It blooms all the way into college and adulthood

232

and she tells these really relatable stories about navigating dating and the city while balancing the expectations of your community and career.

233

And the author challenges her internal need to be of service to be indispensable to everyone in her life,

234

and they offer up this reimagining of what it means to put down roots,

235

of what relationships can look like to other people and yourself.

236

And lastly, I recently re-read excerpts from Care Work.

237

If you're one of those people who thinks,

238

oh everyone wants a village,

239

but nobody wants to be a villager,

240

you should read this book.

241

The book advocates for social infrastructure that promotes interdependence

242

and care webs all from the perspective of critical disability studies

243

and after a year of living in new york i am finally going to get my library card

244

let's go hello we're at the shoresman library

245

which is more famously known as the banana fish library i've actually never been inside

246

so we're gonna go took the long commute all the way to the banana fish library

247

because they actually have a special exhibit of baldwin's work

248

and i read Giovanni's room for the first time in the spring

249

and there was an original draft manuscript of the book

250

and including epic nuggets of history the libraries in New York have so many resources for you to use.

251

I mean I grew up being a public library kid.

252

Hi, I'm here to get my library card but I already got it online.

253

There was actually a book that I was looking for

254

and it was super fun to search it up in the catalog and find it by myself.

255

And I can't wait to read more books from the library.

256

If you're like me, there's probably a gazillion things that you've put off on doing,

257

such as getting your library card and having access to all these things for free.

258

You know, you pay your taxes.

259

So like this is your taxpayer money.

260

Another thing I've been putting off that I've been meaning to do is altering my clothes.

261

I have this pile in my bedroom.

262

So we are going to take some things that I already own and give it a little bit more life.

263

I recently cleaned out my closet and a more in-depth video documenting this will come in the future.

264

But it made me confront my relationship to fashion and gender presentation.

265

Because let's admit it, I have a uniform.

266

I wear the same clothes,

267

same silhouettes, and colors on a daily basis.

268

And any other articles that I'm holding on to out of sentiment,

269

out of hope it fits me again one day,

270

or out of hypothetical scenarios I might need it for,

271

I mean, I just don't wear them.

272

And clothes should be something you wear and they should fit you,

273

not the other way around.

274

I like things that are comfortable.

275

I mean, everything new I buy now is likely just some variation of something I already own.

276

And you should wear the clothes you want to wear now, every day.

277

One thing that limited my existing wardrobe's full potential was cropping all these thrifted shirts.

278

And because I was finally able to kick my doom scrolling habits,

279

I can now proudly don my cropped button-ups.

280

And last but not least,

281

we're taking inspiration for middle school, high school win.

282

If you're unaware, I'm well known for my childhood bedroom and for my decorating.

283

And as a kid, I would impulsively rearrange my room all the dang time.

284

I mean, I would be pushing furniture around my room at 2 a.m in the morning,

285

and my parents would be like, what is going on?

286

You can't be doing this.

287

Revamping and maintaining my environment has kept my mind fresh for ideas.

288

The most adult things about me now is,

289

one, I make my bed every single morning,

290

and two, I never go to bed with dirty dishes in the sink.

291

Having a messy environment has an effect on how you rest or how you work and play.

292

You know, if my office is messy,

293

I'm not going to want to go in there and paint or film something or draw or write.

294

And if the only place in my house that is somewhat clean is my bedroom,

295

of course, I'm going to have horizontal scrolling time.

296

So doing all the small tasks to keep your environment lively,

297

to keep it clean and organized,

298

can do a lot for your well-being and creative spirit in the long run.

299

Thank you so much for watching.

300

I did choose to talk about seven things because of BTS.

301

So my one year anniversary of moving to New York was a few weeks ago.

302

And I can't believe that time flies so fast.

303

It's been a year of growing pains,

304

fruitful experiences, crazy life events,

305

just all of it packed into one.

306

I mean, I wouldn't have it any other way.

307

I wouldn't have it any other way.

308

And I hope that my reflections and my experiences help you get off your phone.

309

And thank you to Rosetta Stone for partnering with me throughout this year and for this video.

310

A reminder that you can get 60% off of the lifetime subscription by using the link in my description.

311

Because I am an optimist,

312

please let me know what is exciting you about experiencing life right now in the comments.

313

But yeah, I'll see you in the next video.

314

Toodaloo.

315

Bye.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
